Kaisercraft Flower Shoppe Swing (Flip Flop) Card

 

Hi everyone,

This was my Splitcoaststampers Design Team Card for the March Fan Club Challenge of Dancing through Life and one of the suggested tutorials to try was a new-to-me Fun Fold Card called a Swing or Flip-Flop Card.  I followed the tutorial here on Splitcoaststampers.  I surprised myself by cutting and scoring it correctly the very first time as I do struggle a little with anything that isn't your regular score-in-the-middle card.  Beate's instructions were really good and having a video as well really helped.

Now that the challenge was 6+ months ago, I can share my card online.

Here is the card closed up:

Now, when you open it, the image on the other side swings around to the front.  Cool, isn't it?!

Now, when you move the card, the other side swings around.  I kept playing with it because it is so fun 😀

All the designer papers are by Kaisercraft - Flower Shoppe which were released November 2020.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the matching Collectables - Flower Shoppe Sentiment CT989.  I popped the sentiment up on 1mm dimensionals.  The butterfly was fussy-cut using my Uniquely Creative Fussy Cutting Scissors and I glued just the middle section down so I could pop up the wings for dimension.  I added 3 x Kaisercraft SB701 Self-Adhesive Soft Pink  Rhinestones underneath the sentiment but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath so the rhinestones didn't move.  I don't find glue dots stick well enough for me and they slip down over time.

The bicycle is from the matching Collectables CT983 and was glued down using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.  The 'Oh Happy Day' sentiment is from the CT983 Collectables but I trimmed it down a little as it was too big for the space.  I used my Bow Easy to tie a bow with 1/8" wide White Organza Ribbon then glued it to the flower pot using Helmar's Fabric Glue.  I love how it added some softness to the main image panel.  Finishing touches were Uniquely Creative Clear Sparkle Pen to the flowers on the bicycle and the butterfly.

If you look at my 3rd photo, you will see that I glued a small piece of White Cardstock on the RHS of the sentiment panel so I could write a small message to the recipient but this isn't visible from the front when the flap in closed - see photo 1.

Finished size is:  6-3/4" x 5-1/2" or 171mm x 140mm.

Why not have a go at making at making this Swing/Flip-Flop Card yourself?  If I can do it the first time I try it, I am positive that you will too.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaisercraft Tranquil Lane Thank You Card

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another Thank You Card.  This was my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Card for the February theme of Good People and one of the interpretations was to make a Thank You Card for people who help.  Now that it is over 6 months since the challenge went live, I can share my card anywhere online.

The leaf image is by Kaisercraft - Tranquil Lane from their Collectables and was glued on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.  The sentiment was stamped using Navy Blue Ink.  I used my Stamping Platform for perfect placement.

The strip of designer paper along the bottom of the main panel is 3/4" x 3-1/2" and is also from the Tranquil Lane Designer Papers, as is the paper on the card base.  I fussy-cut the butterfly from one of the papers using my Uniquely Creative Fussy-Cutting Scissors and glued down just the centre so I could pop the wings up a little.  The cardstock is by Kaisercraft - Navy - and was trimmed to 1/16" on the main panel as well as the card base.

The white twine is from my stash and was added in two separate elements as I couldn't seem to tie a neat bow and have it sit at the right angle.  I glued the bow on using Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

The main panel has been popped up a little on scraps of white cardstock.

Lastly, I popped on a Uniquely Creative Navy Rhinestone but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath as I tend to find glue dots slip over time.  

Finished size is 4-1/8"" x 4-1/8" or 104mm x 104mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaisercraft Joyful Gift Box - Stocking Stuffers/Fillers

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another of my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Projects which was for the December 2025 theme of Stockings by the Fireplace - and one of the suggestions was to make Stocking Stuffers/Stocking Fillers.

Of course, you could also use these as a Mini Gift Box:

Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share my projects online.

I bought a bunch of 3" x 3" White Gift Boxes from Amazon and got to work to decorate them.  I bought 40 for $20 - which is 50 cents each - so very economical.

I used Kaisercraft's Joyful Designer Papers and Collectables which is a 2025 release plus matching Kaisercraft Cardstock.

For the Green Box, I diecut a circle from Jungle Cardstock using a My Favorite Things Pierced Circle STAX die and my Big Shot then glued on the wreath which is from the Collectables.  The sentiment is from the back of the paper pad.  Kaisercraft's paper pads have always have a bunch of sentiments at the back which I really love.  I added some height by gluing on some scraps of white cardstock underneath the green circle.

Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the box and berries on the wreath.

For the Rose Box top, I glued on a wreath from the Collectables but popped it up on scraps of white cardstock, then added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the berries and on the sentiment

On the inside of the boxes, I glued on a Collectable and added more Wink of Stella:

As you can see from the photo, the box is the perfect size for a set of earrings.

Finished size is 3" x 3" with a depth of 1-3/16" - or 76mm x 76mm with a depth of 30mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaisercraft Flower Shoppe Birthday Card

 

Hi everyone,

Well, January has started super-hot.  Yesterday it was 46 deg C here - 115 deg F - and quite a few plants looked bleached when we looked at them today.  We had 46 deg C the other week as well.   I feel sorry for those in the NW of Victoria where it was a record 48.9 deg C - 120 deg F.  I also feel sorry for the birds and other wildlife and wonder how they cope?  Sigh.....I can't WAIT for some cooler days - AND nights!

So, I have been very busy in my Craft Room over January keeping out of the heat and making some Fan Club Design Team Cards for Splitcoaststampers - and other cards for family members.  

One of my all-time favourite releases by Kaisercraft is Flower Shoppe which was released around January 2021.  I just adore the soft colours plus I love anything with flowers on it.  So I whipped up this Birthday Card which I will be giving to my niece:

Lately, I have been making smaller square cards - around 4 to 4-1/4" - spurred on by Ardyth Percy-Robb's small square cards.  If you don't know who Ardyth is, do a search on You-Tube for her Channel - and I have no doubt that you will be incredibly inspired by Ardyth's cards.  She is so clever and creative.

I am entering my card in the following Challenges - click on the underlined link to take you to the Challenge: 

• Splitcoaststampers - Free for All Friday F4A831 of Feeling a Little Square where you can either make a square card or a card with square elements

• Crafty Catz - #705 - Anything Goes

The main image is from the matching Flower Shoppe Collectables which I layered onto some matching designer paper, then onto Stampin' Up Crumb Cake Cardstock.  Both of these were diecut using my Big Shot and Nesting Arches Dies.

The hanging baskets just had grey and white flowers and I wanted them to have a bit more life - so coloured some of the flowers with a blue and a peachy coloured Pastel Ohuhu Alcohol Marker.  I bought a set of these Alcohol Markers in a Black Friday sale last year, and gosh, I do love them and the quality is amazing!

I fussy-cut the butterfly using my Uniquely Creative Fussy Cutting Scissors from one of the designer papers and glued down just the centre so I could bend the wings up.  I guess, in hindsight, the butterfly looks quite large compared to the rest of the scene - but I didn't think about it until after I had adhered it.

The sentiment is also from the Collectables.  I diecut some hearts from one of the designer papers using an Impression Obsession Heart of Hearts Die.  I added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to all the flowers, the butterfly and the hearts on the sentiment.  It's amazing how when you just add a bit of sparkle to your card, it really "lifts" the card.

The bottom panel was punched using an EK Success Scalloped Scallops Border Punch.  I added some White Twine from Stampin' Up then popped the panel up on scraps of white cardstock.

Finished size is:  4-1/8" x 4-1/8" or 104mm x 104mm.
